Is there a general rule-of-thumb on how to name package namespaces for open source projects with no own domain?
Namespaces should be unique, so domains were chosen to take care of that, but in the end it doesn’t matter, as long as they are unique.
Now, if I have a project that is only hosted on github, is it okay to take
com.github.username.projectname
or is that rather frowned upon, because I use a domain that I don’t really own?
There are a number of com.google.code and projects with sourceforge in the package name, so that namespacing has plenty of precedent.
